2nd European Forum on Music 19 – 22 April in Istanbul

The second edition of the European Forum on Music, entitled “Transcending Boundaries – Building Bridges” will take place from 19 - 22 April 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Through workshops, plenary discussions and presentations, participants will explore the obstacles hindering musical exchange in Europe as well as discuss the role which music can play in overcoming borders – be it geographical, cultural or generational.

The Forum will be an opportunity not only for dialogue and networking, but a chance for participants to be inspired by each other and by the vibrant city of Istanbul, with its diverse musical traditions.

The cultural programme, presented by the local hosts, the Borusan Foundation, will make the 2nd European Forum on Music an event to remember, which will take place in the Borusan Music House which is located in the heart of Beyoglu – Istanbul's thriving artistic and cultural centre.
